Lighting management is the key to

greater efficiency

Many old lighting installations will no longer

satisfy the new requirements. This is a

major source of potential savings: the older

an installation is, the greater the savings

possible (see chart on page 10).

Intelligently designed lighting concepts

enhance both lighting quality and energy

efficiency. The following are factors for

success:

Quality luminaires with high light output

ratios and optimised optical control,

efficient light sources with high luminous

efficacy ratings, such as LEDs,

modern electronic operating devices and

control gear,

lighting concepts with different switching

groups that can be individually and separately

dimmed and controlled,

lighting management systems that take

account of daylight and whether rooms

are occupied.

The only way an operator can harness all

the advantages offered by modern light

sources, luminaires and operating devices

is with electronic control. Presence detectors,

for instance, ensure that luminaires are

automatically deactivated as long as no

light is needed. Even greater efficiency is

achieved by utilising natural daylight: a new

lighting system with daylight and presence

control saves as much as 80 percent of the

energy and electricity costs generated by

an old installation.
